8. Known Issues
=============================
The following issues were known to the Zend development team at the time
of the release:
GUI Issues
----------
* The new features added to the .ini file format in PHP 5.3 are not
presently supported by the GUI page managing the .ini directives.
If you use 5.3-format features of .ini files, it is strongly
recommended that you only modify the .ini directives by manually editing
the appropriate files. Use of the Zend Server GUI when any .ini files
contain 5.3-format sections may result in unexpected behavior
in those .ini files.
Installation and Upgrade issues
-------------------------------
* On Windows, an unattended upgrade of Zend Server 5.x will not work if
installed on top of IIS. Regular, non-silent, upgrade will work,
as well as unattended upgrades if installed on top of Apache.
* Switching between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 or from Zend Server CE to Zend Server
packages on SUSE based distributions will cause conflicting error messages to
appear, and may fail. In this case it is recommended to uninstall the old
packages before installing the new packages.
* When upgrading from Zend Server 5.1 on SLES 10.x using zypper package manager,
the package php-5.x-xmlwriter-zend-server is reported as "locked".
Please select the "unlock" option presented by zypper for the upgrade procedure
to complete successfully.
* The Zend Server Cluster Manager package may fail to upgrade on SUSE-based
distributions using command "zypper upgrade zend-server-cluster-manager".
A workaround is to use alternative commands to upgrade the package:
- Use the "zypper upgrade" command (may also update system packages)
- Install and use the "yum" package management utility
- Manually download the package and upgrade it from a local drive
* Zend Server installation on openSUSE/SLES system may fail because of
dependency issues with Apache web server package. As a workaround,
invoke Zend Server installation again or install Apache web server
package prior to to installing Zend Server.
* LDAPS and LDAP-TLS connections are not supported on Fedora Linux.
On SLES/RHEL/CentOS systems LDAPS and LDAP-TLS connections may not
work immediately after installation, until Apache web server is
restarted.
* Zend Data Cache and Page Cache components may report an error after
upgrading Zend Server cluster on Windows. Click "reconfigure" link
from the Cluster Setup screen and restart PHP to resolve this issue.
* On Windows XP 64-bit edition and Windows Vista Home Edition,
Zend Server 5.x can only be installed with an Apache web server.
Other Issues
------------
* On Windows XP and Windows 2003, Optimizer+ error messages may sometimes
be reported in the Event Viewer. In most cases these messages do not affect
Zend Server's functionality and performance, however under rare
circumstances they indicate that Optimizer+ was unable to start due
to an address conflict.
For a workaround, refer to the Zend Knowledgebase article
at http://kb.zend.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=454
* An error in the SOAP extension causes PHP to crash if date.timezone is not
set. For a workaround, refer to the Zend Knowledgebase article at
http://kb.zend.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=436
* After disconnecting Zend Server on Windows from a cluster, it is recommended
to restart the Apache webserver and all Zend Server services, in order to
resume proper operation of Zend Deployment.
* MongoDB extension crashes when IBM_DB2 extension is enabled and used.
See bug http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=24013
